1Después de esto oí en el cielo un tremendo bullicio, como el de una inmensa multitud que exclamaba: «¡Aleluya! La salvación, la gloria y el poder son de nuestro Dios,2pues sus juicios son verdaderos y justos: ha condenado a la famosa prostituta que con sus adulterios corrompía la tierra; ha vindicado la sangre de los siervos de Dios derramada por ella».3Y volvieron a exclamar: «¡Aleluya! El humo de ella sube por los siglos de los siglos».4Entonces los veinticuatro ancianos y los cuatro seres vivientes se postraron y adoraron a Dios, que estaba sentado en el trono, y dijeron: «¡Amén, Aleluya!»5Y del trono salió una voz que decía: «¡Alabad a nuestro Dios, todos sus siervos, grandes y pequeños, que con reverente temor le sirven!»6Después oí voces como el rumor de una inmensa multitud, como el estruendo de una catarata y como el retumbar de potentes truenos, que exclamaban: «¡Aleluya! Ya ha comenzado a reinar el Señor, nuestro Dios Todopoderoso.7¡Alegrémonos y regocijémonos y démosle gloria! Ya ha llegado el día de las bodas del Cordero. Su novia se ha preparado,8y se le ha concedido vestirse de lino fino, limpio y resplandeciente». (El lino fino representa las acciones justas de los santos).9El ángel me dijo: «Escribe: “¡Dichosos los que han sido convidados a la cena de las bodas del Cordero!”» Y añadió: «Estas son las palabras verdaderas de Dios».10Me postré a sus pies para adorarle. Pero él me dijo: «¡No, cuidado! Soy un siervo como tú y como tus hermanos que se mantienen fieles al testimonio de Jesús. ¡Adora solo a Dios! El testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu que inspira la profecía».
El jinete del caballo blanco
11Luego vi el cielo abierto, y apareció un caballo blanco. Su jinete se llama Fiel y Verdadero. Con justicia dicta sentencia y hace la guerra.12Sus ojos resplandecen como llamas de fuego, y muchas diademas ciñen su cabeza. Lleva escrito un nombre que nadie conoce sino solo él.13Está vestido de un manto teñido en sangre, y su nombre es«el Verbo de Dios».14Le siguen los ejércitos del cielo, montados en caballos blancos y vestidos de lino fino, blanco y limpio.15De su boca sale una espada afilada, con la que herirá a las naciones. «Las gobernará con puño de hierro».[1] Él mismo exprime uvas en el lagar del furor del castigo que viene de Dios Todopoderoso. (Ps 2,9)16En su manto y sobre el muslo lleva escrito este nombre: Rey de reyes y Señor de señores.17Vi a un ángel que, parado sobre el sol, gritaba a todas las aves que vuelan en medio del cielo: «Venid, reuníos para la gran cena de Dios,18para que comáis carne de reyes, de jefes militares y de magnates; carne de caballos y de sus jinetes; carne de toda clase de gente, libres y esclavos, grandes y pequeños».19Entonces vi a la bestia y a los reyes de la tierra con sus ejércitos, reunidos para hacer guerra contra el jinete de aquel caballo y contra su ejército.20Pero la bestia fue capturada junto con el falso profeta. Este es el que hacía señales milagrosas en presencia de ella, con las cuales engañaba a los que habían recibido la marca de la bestia y adoraban su imagen. Los dos fueron arrojados vivos al lago de fuego y azufre.21Los demás fueron exterminados por la espada que salía de la boca del que montaba a caballo, y todas las aves se hartaron de su carne.
Offenbarung 19
English Standard Version
Rejoicing in Heaven
1After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, (Offb 4,11; Offb 7,10; Offb 11,15; Offb 12,10)2for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” (5Mo 32,43; 2Kön 9,7; Offb 6,10; Offb 15,3; Offb 16,6; Offb 16,7; Offb 17,1)3Once more they cried out, “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.” (Jes 34,10; Offb 14,11; Offb 18,9; Offb 18,18)4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” (Offb 4,4; Offb 4,6; Offb 4,10; Offb 5,14)5And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.” (Ps 22,23; Ps 113,1; Ps 134,1; Ps 135,1; Offb 11,18)
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. (Ps 97,1; Dan 10,6; Offb 1,15; Offb 6,1; Offb 11,15; Offb 11,17; Offb 14,2; Offb 19,1)7Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; (Jes 54,5; Hos 2,19; Mt 22,2; Mt 25,10; Lk 12,36; Lk 14,8; Joh 2,1; Eph 5,22; Offb 21,2; Offb 21,9)8it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. (Ps 45,13; Ps 132,9; Jes 61,10; Hes 16,10)9And the angel said[1] to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” (Lk 14,15; Offb 19,7; Offb 21,5; Offb 22,6)10Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Apg 10,26; Offb 1,2; Offb 6,9; Offb 12,17; Offb 22,8; Offb 22,9)
The Rider on a White Horse
11Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. (Ps 96,13; Jes 11,4; Hes 1,1; Offb 3,7; Offb 3,14; Offb 6,2)12His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. (Spr 30,4; Offb 1,14; Offb 2,17; Offb 2,18; Offb 12,3; Offb 19,16)13He is clothed in a robe dipped in[2] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. (Jes 63,2; Joh 1,1)14And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. (Offb 3,4; Offb 7,9; Offb 14,20)15From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule[3] them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. (Jes 11,4; Jes 63,3; 2Thess 2,8; Offb 1,16; Offb 2,27; Offb 12,5; Offb 14,20; Offb 19,21)16On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. (Offb 17,14; Offb 19,12)17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, (Jes 34,6; Jer 12,9; Jer 46,10; Hes 39,17; Hes 39,19; Offb 19,21)18to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[4] both small and great.” (Hes 39,18; Hes 39,20)19And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. (Offb 11,7; Offb 13,1; Offb 16,16)20And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence[5] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Dan 7,11; 2Thess 1,8; Offb 13,11; Offb 13,15; Offb 14,10; Offb 16,13; Offb 20,10; Offb 20,14; Offb 21,8)21And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. (Offb 19,15; Offb 19,17)
